Anyone here ever gone to the reenactment of Patrick Henry's speech...

...at historic St. John's Church in Richmond? My daughter is studying the American Revolution in school right now and just mentioned Patrick Henry's famous speech, so I told her about how he gave that speech at a church right here in Richmond. I'm thinking of taking the family to one of the reenactments and am curious if anyone here has any input on it.

I just checked the church's website and it looks like they are still doing the reenactments during COVID. I must say, it is a little ironic that you are required to wear a face mask to hear an actor quote Patrick Henry saying "Give me liberty, or give me death!"...
